Cutting-Edge Approaches to Prostate and Breast Cancers: Reach the Right Decision for Each Patient

In the first part of this grand rounds presentation, you’ll learn the best risk assessment tools for prostate cancer patients (avoiding past patterns of over- and under-treatment); the latest surgical techniques, such as fluorescence imaging and high-intensity focused ultrasound (as well as other types of ablation); and tests that allow for matching patients with appropriate options. The second part is an important look at past overuse of axillary lymph node dissection, with its lifelong consequences for many patients, and what the evidence shows about when this step can be avoided.
